Matthew 13
1 Tua ni ma in Jesus inn pan pusuak in, tuili hui ah to hi.
On that day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the sea.
2 Mihon pi te ama kung ah hong ki kaikhop ngawp ciang in, ngunkuang sung ah tuaksuk in, to hi; taciang in mihonpi theampo sia tuili hui ah ding tek uh hi.
A very large crowd gathered around him, so he got into a boat and sat in it, while the whole crowd stood on the beach.
3 Taciang in sontena te zang in thu tampi son a; En vun, thaici poai pa thaici poai tu in hongpai hi;
Then Jesus said many things to them in parables. He said, “Behold, a farmer went out to sow seed.
4 A poai ciang in, thaici pawlkhat te sia lamzin tung ah tak a, tungleang te hongpai in nekhawng siat hi:
As he sowed, some seeds fell beside the road, and the birds came and devoured them.
5 Pawlkhat te sia suang tam in, leidai na mun ah tak hi: tawmvei sung in hong po pai hi, banghangziam cile lei thuk ngawl hi:
Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil. Immediately they sprang up, because the soil had no depth.
6 Tabang in ni hong sua ciang, nisa in kang a; zungthuk nei ngawl ahikom in vuai in ngawtak siat hi.
But when the sun had risen, they were scorched because they had no root, and they withered away.
7 Pawlkhat te sia lingphung sung ah tak a; lingkung te khang in zapcip siat hi:
Other seeds fell among the thorn plants. The thorn plants grew up and choked them.
8 A dang te sia leipha na sung ah tak a, pawlkhat te a se zakhat, pawlkhat te sia a se sawmluk, pawlkhat te sia a se sawm thum in khang hi.
Other seeds fell on good soil and produced a crop, some one hundred times as much, some sixty, and some thirty.
9 Zak natu bil nei peuma in, za tahen, ci hi.
He who has ears, let him listen.”
10 Taciang in nungzui te Jesus kung ah hongpai a, banghang in sontena taw thuson ni ziam? ci in dong uh hi.
The disciples came and said to Jesus, “Why do you talk to the crowd in parables?”
11 Jesus in, Banghangziam cile, vantung kumpingam thuku heak thei na sia note hong kipia zo hikale, mipi te ki pia ngawl lai hi.
Jesus answered and said to them, “You have been given the privilege of understanding mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given.
12 Banghangziam cile, a neite ki pia thua tu a, a dimlet in nei tu hi: ahihang a nei ngawl te kung pan in a neisun zong ki laksak lai tu hi.
For whoever has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.
13 Tua ahikom amate tung ah sontena te taw thuson khi hi: banghangziam cile amate sia en napi mu ngawl; ngai napi za ngawl in tel zong tel thei ngawl uh hi.
This is why I talk to them in parables: Though they are seeing, they do not see; and though they are hearing, they do not hear, or understand.
14 Kamsang Isaiah in maisangthu a sonkholna ah, note sia za napi na tel bua uh hi; mu tu hi napi, kan tel ngawl nu hi, a ci thu amate tung ah tangtung hi.
To them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, that which says, 'While hearing you will hear, but you will in no way understand; while seeing you will see, but you will in no way perceive.
15 Banghangziam cile, hi minam te sia a mit te khua mu ngawl, a bil te khuaza ngawl, a thinsung in bangma tel thei ngawl in, a nuntak na uh zong ki kheal ngawl hang in, a natna te zong ka damsak ngawl zadong in, amate sia a thinpui lei a, a bil uh in khua za hak bek domngawl in a mit uh zong thi siat hi.
For this people's heart has become dull, and they are hard of hearing, and they have closed their eyes, so they should not see with their eyes, or hear with their ears, or understand with their hearts, so they would turn again, and I would heal them.'
16 Ahizong, note sia na mit in mu a: na bil zong in za ahikom in thuphatoai na hi uh hi.
But blessed are your eyes, for they see; and your ears, for they hear.
17 A tatak ka ci ciang, na mu uh le na zak uh te kamsang te le mi thutang te in mu nuam mama napi, mu tha ngawl hi; za nuam mama napi, za tha ngawl hi.
Truly I say to you that many prophets and righteous men desired to see the things that you see, and did not see them. They desired to hear the things that you hear, and did not hear them.
18 Tuahang in thaici poaipa thu sontena sia ngai vun.
Listen then to the parable of the farmer who sowed his seed.
19 Lamzin tung ah atak thaici i khiakna sia, khatpo in kumpingam thu za a, tel thei ngawl hi, taciang mi pha ngawl pa hongpai in, a thinsung ah a ki poai thaici sia laksak hi.
When anyone hears the word of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the seed that was sown beside the road.
20 Suangtam na mun ah a tak thaici sia, thu a zak pociang lungdamtak in a sang te hi;
What was sown on rocky ground is the person who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy,
21 Ahihang zungthuk tha ngawl ahikom, tawmvei sung bek khom in: tua thu hang in haksatna le vawtsiatna a thet ciang, tawlnga kik pai hi.
yet he has no root in himself and he endures for a while. When tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, he quickly falls away.
22 Lingphung sung a tak thaici te sia, thu za napi; hileitung thinngimna, leitung hauna i theamna in tua thu zapcip a, nga zo ngawl hi. (aiōn g165)
What was sown among the thorn plants, this is the person who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful. (aiōn g165)
23 Leipha na ah a tak thaici te sia, thu za a, a telthiam te hi; tua te in a nga hong nga a, pawlkhat te a se zakhat, pawlkhat te a se sawmluk, pawlkhat te a se sawmthum ciang dong khang hi.
What was sown on the good soil, this is the person who hears the word and understands it. He bears fruit and makes a crop, some yielding one hundred times as much as was planted, some sixty, and some thirty times as much.”
24 Jesus in amate tung ah sontena adang khat son thua a, Vantung kumpingam sia pasal khat in a lo sung ah thaici pha a cing taw kibang hi:
Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.
25 Hi kale, ngual mut lan in, a ngal pa hongpai a, zungtang sung ah mimphei ci a poai zawkciang, ciakik hi.
But while people slept, his enemy came and also sowed weeds among the wheat and then went away.
26 Thaici hong po in, tanghui te hong luak ciang in, mimphei te hong kilang hi.
When the blades sprouted and then produced their crop, then the weeds appeared also.
27 Tabang ahiciang, naseam te inteakpa kung ah hongpai a, Topa awng, na losung ah thaici pha poai hi ngawl ni ziam? koisung pan hi mimphei te hong theng ziam? ci in dong hi.
The servants of the landowner came and said to him, 'Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How does it now have weeds?'
28 Innteakpa in hite sia ka ngalpa i vawt a hihi, ci hi. A naseam te in ama kung ah, pai in mimphei te ka bot tu uh ziam? ci in dong hi.
He said to them, 'An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, 'So do you want us to go and pull them out?'
29 Ahihang inteakpa in, bot heak vun; banghangziam cile mimphei te na baw uh ciang, zungtang te taw bot khawm tha tu nu hi, ci hi.
The landowner said, 'No. Because while you are pulling out the weeds, you might uproot the wheat with them.
30 Anlak hun dong khang khawm phot tahen, anlak hun ciang in mimphei te khawm masa vun a, na lom hen zawk uh ciang hal vun: ahihang zungtang te a hile seau sung ah thun vun, ci in anla te ka ci tu hi, ci hi.
Let both grow together until the harvest. At the time of the harvest I will say to the reapers, “First pull out the weeds and tie them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.”'”
31 Jesus in sontena dang khat ma a son thua na ah, Vantung kumpingam sia pasal khat in ankam cii la in, lo sung ah a poai taw kibang hi:
Then Jesus presented another parable to them. He said, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed which a man took and sowed in his field.
32 Tua thaici sia thaici theampo sung pan a nobel hi: ahihang hong khan ciang in ante teng sung pan a lianbel hong suak a, a kung hong suak hi, tua hu in van a vacim te zong hongpai in a bak te tung ah tawlnga hi, ci hi.
This seed is indeed the smallest of all seeds. But when it has grown, it is greater than the garden plants. It becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches.”
33 Jesus in amate tung ah sontena dang khat a son thu sia; Vantung kumpingam sia nupi khat in tol tawm a lak sia, anvui law thum sung ah hel a, tua tol tawm cilik in anvui theampo a pawmsak siat taw kibang hi, ci hi.
Jesus then told them another parable. “The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed with three measures of flour until all the dough had risen.”
34 Jesus in hi sontena te zang in mipite tung ah thuson hi: sontena zang ngawl in thuson ngeingawl hi:
All these things Jesus said to the crowds in parables; and he said nothing to them without a parable.
35 Kamsang i sonkholna ah, amate tung ah sontena te zang in thuson tu khi hi; leitung bulpi a ki phu panin thuku sia amate tung ah pualak tu khi hi, ci thu a tangtunna tu hi.
This was in order that what had been said through the prophet might come true, when he said, “I will open my mouth in parables. I will say things that were hidden from the foundation of the world.”
36 Tua zawkciang Jesus in mihonpi te ciasak a, innsung ah a tum uh ciang: a nungzui te a kung ah hongpai in, losung a mimphei thu sontena sia hong son tan, ci uh hi.
Then Jesus left the crowds and went into the house. His disciples came to him and said, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.”
37 Jesus in, Thaici pha a poai sia mihing Tapa hi;
Jesus answered and said, “He who sows the good seed is the Son of Man.
38 Lo sia leitung bup hi; thaici pha sia kumpingam tate a hihi; ahihang mimphei te sia mi pha ngawl pa tate a hihi;
The field is the world; and the good seed, these are the sons of the kingdom. The weeds are the sons of the evil one,
39 Mimphei cii a poai ngalpa sia doaimangpa hi; anlak hun sia leitung bo hun hi a; anla te sia vantungmi te a hihi. (aiōn g165)
and the enemy who sowed them is the devil. The harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. (aiōn g165)
40 Tua ahikom mimphei te sia khawm in, mei taw hal siat hi; tasiabangma in hileitung a bo ciang in piang tu hi. (aiōn g165)
Therefore, as the weeds are gathered up and burned with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. (aiōn g165)
41 Mihing Tapa in, Ama vantungmi te sawl tu a, mi a khialsak te le siatna a vawt te ama ukna sung pan kaikhawm tu hi;
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will gather out of his kingdom all the things that cause sin and those who commit iniquity.
42 Tua te sia kaa na le hangoaina mun mei sung ah khiasuk tuh hi.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
43 Taciang in mipha te sia a Pa uh i ukna sung ah ni bang in tang tu uh hi. Zak natu bil nei theampo in za tahen.
Then will the righteous people shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. He who has ears, let him listen.
44 Vantung kumpingam thu sia, losung ah a ki sealcip na manpha taw kibang hi; tua neisa sia khatpo in a mu ciang in, phual a, lungdam mama in a neisa theampo zuak hi, taciang tua lo lei hi.
The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure hidden in a field. A man found it and hid it. In his joy he goes, sells everything he possesses, and buys that field.
45 Vantung kumpingam sia a manham pale a zong sumleang pa taw kibang hi:
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is a merchant looking for valuable pearls.
46 Ama in a manham pale khat a mu ciang in, a neisa theampo zuak in, lei hi.
When he found one pearl of very great value, he went and sold everything that he possessed and bought it.
47 Vantung kumpingam thu sia tuipi sung ah a ki pai, ngasa tatuam a awk ngen taw kibang hi:
Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea, and that gathered creatures of every kind.
48 A ngen a dim ciang in tuihui ah kai a, a to kawm in teal hi, ngasa pha te bawm sung ah heang a, a pha ngawl te sia vawk hi.
When it was filled, the fishermen drew it up on the beach. Then they sat down and gathered the good things into containers, but the worthless things they threw away.
49 Hi leitung bo ciang in tabangma hi tu hi: vantungmi te hongpai in, mipha te sung pan in mi pha ngawl te khen tu a, (aiōn g165)
It will be this way at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from among the righteous. (aiōn g165)
50 Kaana le hangoaina mun meisung ah khia tu hi, ci in zo hi.
They will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and grinding of teeth.
51 Jesus in, Hi thu te theampo na tel zo uh ziam? ci in dong hi, amate in tel khu hi, Topa, ci in zo kik uh hi.
Have you understood all these things?” The disciples said to him, “Yes.”
52 Jesus in amate tung ah, Tua ahikom, vantung kumpingam atu in a ki hil thukhamhil te sia, a neisa a lui le a thak a vekpi in a pusua inn neipa taw kibang hi.
Then Jesus said to them, “Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple to the kingdom of heaven is like a man who is the owner of a house, who draws out old and new things from his treasure.”
53 Jesus in hi sontena te a son zawkciang tua mun pan in pusuak hi.
Then it came about that when Jesus had finished these parables, he departed from that place.
54 Ama ngamsung a tum ciang in, amate i synagogue sung ah thuhil a, amate in lamdangsa mama in, hibang ciimna le vangletna nei nasep te sia koisung pan nga ziam?
Then Jesus entered his own region and taught the people in their synagogue. The result was that they were astonished and said, “Where does this man get his wisdom and these miracles from?
55 Ama sia lettama pa tapa hi ngawl ziam? Mary sia a nu hi ngawl ziam? James, Joses, Simon le Judah te zong a suapui te hi ngawl ziam?
Is not this man the carpenter's son? Is not his mother called Mary? Are not his brothers James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas?
56 A suapui nu te zong i kung ma ah hong om hi ngawl ziam? koisung pan hisia pa in hite theampo nga ziam? ci uh hi.
Are not all his sisters with us? Where did he get all these things?”
57 Amate sia Jesus hang in tha neam uh hi. Ahihang Jesus in amate tung ah, Kamsang sia ama ngamsung le a innkuan sung simngawl mundang ah ki upat hi, ci hi.
They were offended by him. But Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own country and in his own family.”
58 Amate i up ngawlna hang in, tua mun ah vanglian nasep tam seam ngawl hi.
He did not do many miracles there because of their unbelief.
